"This place can be a wonderful opportunity to grow but due to the previous culture of the company, you may have to endure a little nonsense before things level out.

"Pay for performance and promotion from within are what make this organization culturally healthy. Also, the kindest people, very little political agenda all stemming from the executive team and trickling it’s way down. "

"It's an exciting time for change and we're all eagerly anticipating the transition from an "old boys network" sales rep firm into a diverse media company"

"Flexibility has been an issue in the past. If you ask, they will try to accommodate, but sometimes you felt that everyone was judging. But we should have new flex-work policies coming in 2019 that will take the stigma off working remotely/flexible hours."

"I took maternity leave prior to the new CEO. Currently, the benefits are much better."

"NCC is currently going through a company restructure and cultural shift under the new President / CEO. She is dynamic and progressive and came to us from the tech sphere. In a short amount of time she has already made a big impact. This will be a great company once her vision is realized, there is a lot of work to be done, but it's rapidly changing. All good things on the horizon "

"It depends on which team you are joining. The people are wonderful and make it all worth it. Turnaround times are very fast so every day is a race. The new CEO has made some cultural changes for the better and morale is slowly improving. There is still an air of negativity and people do like to complain a lot."

"I work for a very understanding boss. Not every boss is as understanding so certain teams have more flexibility than others. There is no set work from home policy but you can if you need to. However, the work load is heavy and if you need to leave early to get your kid, you may need to log in later in the night or come in early the next day. Teams have had to make due with less over the years which has lead to increased workloads. "

"I've always felt that I've been supported in work/life balance here at NCC. It may be my personal experience with my direct report, so I'm not sure if all departments have had the same sense of support. I believe change is on the horizon across the board. "

"There is much optimism that change is on the way to improve the work environment for women. I believe the intent is there, but there are many issues that have not been addressed yet that could be. This causing a negative work place for women. "

"Flexibility at this time is not extended fairly. Different employees are given different flexibility. There is a need for a policy to be in place so all employees are offered the same flex time. "

"It is a stable company with great people/strong community. Try to live close to westside as traffic is very difficult and not much flexibility with hours at this time. This will hopefully change once Optix is up and running more fluidly. "

"I think that this is a great work environment, where everyone really gets to know each other and we become a sort of family in certain departments. We have over the past few years made some great improvements to the benefits and culture here at NCC and it is quickly growing into a great company for women to want to work at. "

"There is a lack of women leadership in this company period. The lack of diversity in women specially African American women is basically non existent for moving up the latter in this company. NCC does a horrible job in making everyone feel included. It is easy to get discouraged when you put in time, give 200% to be noticed while the next quickly move up the latter. I have personally over heard a male manager demand that he interview more men than women; therefore, they are comfortable enough to put that in the atmosphere. It is known that some managers do not work well with working mothers or blacks which is a horrible thought for someone who is in leader. I know that changes will not be made over night and that all experiences are not the same; however, I will say NCC seem like it is headed in the right direction and I look forward to see changes in the future."

"Company has improved immensely since new CEO took over, but is sad that it's the first C suite position ever held by a women since it's inception. I think she is starting to bring the company into a modern age when it was previously a bit dated in its policies and practices, She is very open door which is amazing, best ideas should always win no matter who comes up with the idea and never before had people at the bottom had a voice, Culture has felt like an ego driven boys club on the management side of things but with new CEO things are changing for the good as her openness and desire to improve the company is flowing down the ranks and it's very promising. "

"Our individual office is very flexible with accommodating appointments etc but would be great to have option to work from home a day or two each week to avoid commuting time and if you have sick kids etc. I think our team is great at knowing and trusting that we are getting all of our work done.

"The management team is very understanding and flexible with your work/life balance. If I have a doctors appointment or need to work from home for some reason they are very flexible and accommodating. However, the workload is so intense and overwhelming that it's hard to have a work/life balance. It's hard to leave for an hour doctors appointment or work from home for a day when you have 100's of things to get done on your desk. "

"Female coordinators are treated differently than their male counterpoints, it's one of the reasons I left the company. We were expected to be smiley and happy all the time, meanwhile other male coordinators, AEs and sales managers were always yelling, screaming and cursing. "

"I've always felt like there is equal opportunity for women to elevate into leadership positions. It is a great place to work.
One thing I struggled with over the years which I hope changes to support other women at NCC was coming back to work after I had my children. Lucky enough to have an office, I was able to hang a curtain to pump breastmilk. Many women don't have that luxury and we've had to create makeshift breastfeeding rooms. It is difficult to offer privacy that is so desperately needed at a time like that. "

"Leadership in my office is understanding and allows for a healthy work-life balance, especially when it comes to family/small children conflicts that arise, but more official flexibility coming from organizational leadership would help to promote this culture and would minimize feelings of guilt or anxiety if personal issues arise making it necessary to work from home or leave early/come in late."

"Corporate America has a long way to go, but NCC Media is closer to the goal than many. Depending on the office, the culture at this company is women-friendly and allows for a level of flexibility to accommodate families. Up until recently, my office had no diversity (gender, race...nothing) on the management level. This has since changed, although men still make up the senior management positions here. Luckily, the culture has started to evolve, and I can only attribute that to the incredible character of the people in influential positions. I am lucky to have incredible MEN for whom I work, and they have welcome change and a diversity of thoughts, ideas, gender, culture in my office. I emphasize men in my previous statement because it takes our male co-workers to participate in women's workplace growth and inclusion just as much as the women themselves!"

"Flexibility is small or non existent depending on what office/team you are on. You feel like you are asking for a huge favor or guilty if you have to leave early. Pay could be more even male vs female. Under new management hopefully these things will be addressed. "

"It's an exciting time for our company with lots of changes taking place. I'm looking forward to what's to come and based on what I see so far it looks like we have lots of opportunities in our horizon.
"

"NCC has made some positive strides however, there is still a great need for more flexibility and understanding of work/life balance. Mothers are sometimes made to feel guilty if they/we need to adjust out in-office hours due to our children. NCC, please trust that your employees are adults and we can do our jobs when/where/how it best works for us. If we can/need to work remote, or come to office late, or leave office early - please trust that jobs are being done."

"I think they are good about flexibility for working moms, at least that's how my boss lets me work. I have been able to work from home when my child is sick. I think our new CEO is making great changes that will attract more women to the company, like paid maternity leave."

"Much like I said previously, I think with the recent appointment of our new CEO, we will begin to see some more flexibility. I think the communication gap is still there so people are weary of being flexible. People also don't adjust well (or quickly) to change So in cases where I've asked for flexibility, it was first met with some resistance. I also think as a company, we need to up our game on communication. We are all so connected but sometimes people don't respond or don't have a sense of urgency in our office. "

"I was required to use all of my sick and vacation time carried over from the previous year. Then I had to take any time accrued within the year. After that I had 4 weeks of FMLA paid at 100%. The last 4 week I had 50% pay. BUT... now it is 12 weeks of FMLA at 100% and you can keep all of your PTO!!!"

"I am so proud to be a woman working at NCC. My CEO and Regional Vice President are both (amazing) women and they encourage women of all diversity across the country to work hard and speak up. Under their leadership, I feel comfortable and powerful enough to take initiative and to work hard to help NCC's success in both a business aspect as well as bettering the culture of the company. In just a few short months, ever since our new CEO, Nicolle has joined us, NCC has become a company I am so proud to work for. It's rare to feel excited to go to into work but I am, everyday. I look forward to growing my career with the company. "

"I am a newer employee of NCC, coming up on my 1st year here. I am new to the area, recently moved from across the country and when I was interviewing. I expressed how important it was for me to be able to work from another office when I needed to see my family. I was promised that I would have the ability to work in that office and NCC definitely kept that promise-- three times this year in fact. I am grateful to work here. "

"Since I've worked at NCC, I have been treated in an equal manner to all my male peers and have been given every opportunity to grow. There isn't as strong of a female representation in management and executive roles as there is in support roles but this is in part due to the nature of ad sales being a male dominated industry for a long time. Additionally, our CEO and company as a whole is committed to promoting more women in leadership roles."

" There are great benefits including healthcare, retirement, PTO, FMLA. General sense of team atmosphere so encouraging to come to work and have people to talk to, laugh with, create ideas with, etc. No glaring treatment of employees based on gender but every much a 9a-5p focus with little flexibility.

"There is some flexibility in terms of hours (if I am slightly late or have to dip out 15 min early, there is no issue). But this has only been acceptable in the past two years or so, we definitely have clock watchers in the office. I have worked remote in other offices however whenever that comes up or even working a day from home, there is a sense of judgment from management. Whether that is real or perceived, the notion of asking to work remote has generally been looked down upon and ingrained a sense of trepidation."

"These reviews will vary by office. In my office, the majority of upper management is male. As a female, I have felt at times, my gender has played a role into how I was treated or respected within my office. However, I also work with our home office in NY and don't feel my gender has played a role in my treatment or respect.
With our new CEO, I am already seeing a shift of better respect in my office. "

"This policy has changed, it is now 12 weeks paid. I took maternity leave twice once for only 7.5 weeks, second for full 12, paid for 10. We originally received 6 weeks paid and then would need to start tapping into vacation and sick, once those ran out you would receive half paid weeks depending on how long you had been with the company. "

"NCC is flexible when it comes to doctor's appointments or leaving for family obligations, but the practicality is missing. For example: having the ability to work remotely, while waiting your child's doctor's appt or your own appt."

"This company can provide you with good job, but it's difficult to imagine it being the home of your career. Your overall job satisfaction can very much depend on the people you work with. That can be true for any job, but as a coordinator or planner if you are unlucky enough to have AEs or a manager that is rude, disrespectful or inconsiderate of you, you can easily be trapped in an unequal situation for which there's little recourse to escape besides quitting. Consequences of bad behavior are on the burden of the subordinate. Until recently, there appears to be little effort of development of coordinators. Besides all that, it's an okay job if you can answer emails and work excel. "

"I am putting a 2 only for the recent changes that our new CEO has started. However, historically, I would put NCC at a 1, or even 0. I feel as though NCC has developed a long sense of complacency as a company that has developed into a culture of "this is the way it is" : the reliance on paper, the operating systems of our computers, the constant turnover of coordinators, bad behaviors by AEs and managers that are normalized and dismissed. When I was interviewed I was told that my AEs or buyers might yell at me and disrespect and I had to be okay with that. When I was hired I was told not to expect promotions any time soon, as "those come with the right timing, not expectation", that it might be years. I was told not to expect any free food or perks and when it happened "Don't get used to it." I think there is potential for change, but I believe there is an old guard here that is resistant and resentful of changing the way it's been."

"As a whole, NCC has been a good company to work for, but it is lacking in some fundamental areas that exist at other companies nowadays. The new CEO is bringing about significant change to the company as it pertains to working women, which has been severely lacking, namely a maternity leave policy and involvement in female-focused events.

"Unfortunately, the company does not have a broad policy regarding flexible concerns (work from home, flex hours, etc.), but it is up to each manager as to how he or she manages his or her staff. If a manager is not willing to allow an employee to work from home or have flexible hours, for example, that employee cannot do it. At the same time, other managers allow it, which creates inconsistency and unequal treatment."

"It's important to note that not all teams and offices are treated equally. Some teams have far more flexibility than others. Some offices appear to have a much greater culture of positivity than others. "

"With our new CEO, we've seen a lot of much needed changes, but working for NCC for over 12 years, flexibility is given, but at the same time, you can be made to feel that it's looked down upon. We work hard and at times long hours. It doesn't feel like the flexibity given is equal to what sacrifices are asked of employees at times. Also, our ability to work remotely while we are waiting at doctors appointments or out of the office has been limited due the systems we use to work, so this also feels like a limitation to a respectable work/life balance."

"I feel very fortunate to work for this organization. I feel valued as an employee, respected by my colleagues and clients. The benefits are very nice. I felt supported when I took maternity leave and when I returned to my position after the 16 weeks. It's a wonderful place to work. As a full-time working mom, having some flexibility is very important."

"There is flexibility for sure. If I had been asked when I first started, I wouldn't have thought so .Over the years, it has improved tremendously.

"It was FMLA, not maternity leave. I used all accrued vacation, personal and sick days, plus 4 weeks from NCC and got 100% paid for 10 weeks. I was at 50% pay the last 2 weeks before returning to work."

"If you work hard and earn the trust of management, you should not have any issues when "life comes up" during business hours. This is understood by people that have been with the company for a couple years, but is sometimes misunderstood by newer employees. You have to pay your dues."

"While many male bosses are out of touch, so too are many female managers. Many issues with support within teams and from other teams. Many get unearned recognition, while those who have earned it ignored."

"Although my ratings aren't as strong as they could be, this is based on how NCC has been managed prior to Nicolle Pangis being hired as CEO & President. Since she joined the company, improvements were quickly implemented. The future for NCC as a woman is definitely looking up. I believe it will be a very different place to work in the near future. The culture is already changing for the better."

"Up until my company hired a woman CEO, the entire board was all men and very few women in leadership roles. Sometimes open positions wouldn't be posted and a man promoted without even equal opportunity (posting the job). Very little opportunity to advance in the company which doesn't seem to be based on skill set or experience but more favoritism."

"It seems to vary by office. My office tends to punch a clock and is frowned upon if you work remotely. Face time is big for management in my office versus the more modern connectivity we provide employees that can be accessible from anywhere (i.e. mobile, email, conf call, etc.). In sales and building business you learn to be accessible and communicate while remote, use all the tools & resources provided like Outlook to schedule meetings, proactively send agendas prior to meetings so everyone can come prepared and contribute to the meeting.
There are many smokers in my office and take several breaks all together and enjoy long lunches every day. They leave on time every day as well. This is accepted. Why not give all non smokers an additional 6 days of vacation to promote a healthy life style and work place - something certainly to consider."

There is still a stipulation that a person needs to be at their desk at all times in order to get work done."

"It's clear that female supervisors and coordinators are expected to hold a role of emotional responsibility that male ones do not. I know that my male counterparts have not been chewed out for the same things I have been. Ladies in my position are routinely expected to hold a bulk of the emotional labor, especially if they work for or with men, and for less money. Even with other variables such as hire date and experience involved, I know I make almost ten thousand less a year than my male counterparts with half of what I do, know how to do, experience, and am willing to offer, and while there's the argument of new hires making more, it's incredibly frustrating when we are also expected to not only do the work in our job description, but also preform emotional labor that men are clearly not expected. When education comes into play, it's even worse. Favoritism in my office is also a major issue, and while there are some women involved, it very clearly skews towards men. Even with female managers, I feel I have been passed over for less qualified men partially because of my gender. I do not feel I can express this without backlash, and I love working here when this attitude isn't obvious. I want to make this better. Some of my coworkers have stories of assistants being sexist, and there is no way to report this without feeling your position is at risk. Finally, I do feel that female employees are held to higher standards in my office, and male employees are let off for less."

"There is a very clear social schism between coordinators and the rest of the office. Most of the racial/gender diversity in the office is among coordinators. Only about 1/3 of the AEs in my office are women, and there are no non-white AEs. Much of the behavior on the sales floor among AEs could be described as "a lawsuit waiting to happen" (a direct quote overheard from a higher up). "
